The
word adolescence is Latin in origin, derived from the verb adolescere, which means "to grow into adulthood."
Adolescence is a time of moving from the immaturity of childhood into the
maturity of adulthood. There is no single event or boundary line that denotes
the end of childhood or the beginning of adolescence. Rather, experts think of
the passage from childhood into and through adolescence as composed of a set of
transitions that unfold gradually and that touch upon many aspects of the individual's
behavior, development, and relationships.
"What I like about working with teenagers"
1.Adolescents are very
energetic.
We, as teachers, can take advantage
2.They like to participate.
For example, in my teaching practicum, I had a girl who was very hyperactive. Whenever I asked for volunteers to participate, she was always willing to help me. I liked that she was in that way. She made mistakes as everybody does, but that is how we learn - by making mistakes.
3.Adolescents are very curious and spontaneous.
They just say what they think very naturally. If they have a doubt, they ask, no matter what kind of question it is.
4.They like to learn as much as possible.
They are always asking questions or the meaning of certaing words.
5.Teenagers are very creative.
They come up with interesting ideas about certain topic during the class. These are some of the things I like about working with teenagers.

"What I do not like about working with teenagers"
1. Some teenagers are very disrespectful.
For instance, in my teaching practicum, I had some students that were kind of disrespectful with me, but just outside the classroom. During classes they behaved really well and participated a lot.
2.Teenagers love nasty words.
It is pretty uncomfortable listening to them saying nasty words because we cannot say that much to them. If we say something to them, they get mad at us. Also, they will make our lives miserable as they love taking revenge. Another thing is that they can say “-I do not like that teacher because of what she told me!-, -I will not pay attention to her because I do not care about her classes!” teenagers get distracted easily. If one student starts talking, everyone does it and the classroom becomes a mess.
3. Some teenagers are very irresponsible.
They do not care about the class and do not pay attention to what the teacher is saying. They do not do their homework assignments.
4. The majority of adolescents are very talkative.
Teenagers are always talking, and the problem is that they do not talk about the class. They talk about many other things, but the class.
We need to take all the positive things from our students, such as energy and curiosity to help them build their knowledge.
